Your Owner’s Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your microwave oven: ◆ Safety precautions ◆ Suitable accessories and cookware ◆ Useful cooking tips GB Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four basic cooking operations: ◆ Cooking food ◆ Defrosting food ◆ Grilling food ◆ Adding extra cooking time At the front of the booklet you will find illustrations of the oven, and more importantly the control panel, so that you can find the buttons more easily. The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols. ☛ ➢ ✽ Important Note Caution Turn PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. (a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert anything into the safety interlock holes. (b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth. (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces (2) Door hinges (broken or loose) (3) Power cable (d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS 11 CE2974a(GB1) 5/9/00 8:53 AM Page 12 Safety Precautions Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check that the following safety precautions are taken. GB 12 1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven: ◆ Metallic containers ◆ Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings ◆ Skewers, forks, etc. Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven. 2. DO NOT heat: ◆ Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers Ex) Baby food jars ◆ Airtight food. Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode. Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc. 3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: The oven walls may be damaged. Tip: Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven going when it is empty. 4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper. Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the oven. 5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven. Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot. 6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls. Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, although they do not appear to be so. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first. 7. To ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: Do not store flammable materials in the oven Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CE2974a(GB1) 5/9/00 8:53 AM Page 13 Safety Precautions 8. 9. (continued) Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. ◆ ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off so that the temperature can equalize. ◆ Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. ◆ Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself, if the container is too hot. ◆ A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists. ◆ To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself. ◆ In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions: • Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes. • Cover with a clean, dry dressing. • Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions. ◆ NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated. ◆ ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby. ◆ NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. GB Be careful not to damage the power cable. ◆ Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces. ◆ Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug. 10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door. Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding. 11. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven. 12. “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially when the oven is in defrosting mode. Reason: When the electrical power output is changing, you may hear that sound. This is normal. 13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes. 14. This microwave oven has to be connected to the plug endurable to proper power consumption. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials. IMPORTANT Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS 13 CE2974a(GB1) 5/9/00 8:53 AM Page 14 Installing Your Microwave Oven Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven. GB 20 cm above 10 cm behind 10 cm on the side 1 When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind, and on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above the oven. 2 Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely. ✽ ✽ ✽ Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently. For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt, 50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (I-SHENG SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP-106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E). Contact your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICA APEX LEADS SA16 and NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1). Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time. Setting the Time (CE2974/2974T) Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notation.

Result: The time is diaplayed when ever you are not using the microwave oven. GB How a Microwave Oven Work Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour. You can use your microwave oven to: ◆ Defrost ◆ Auto Reheat/Cook ◆ Cook Cooking Principle 1 The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly. 2 The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food. 3 Cooking times vary according to the recipient used and the properties of the food: ◆ ◆ ◆ ☛ Quantity and density Water content Initial temperature (refrigerated or not) As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure: ◆ Even cooking of the food right to the centre ◆ The same temperature throughout the food SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS 15 CE2974a(GB1) 5/9/00 8:53 AM Page 16 Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times.

GB Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven. Cookware Microwave-Safe Aluminium foil ✓ ✗ Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used. Browning plate ✓ Do not preheat for more than eight minutes. China and earthenware ✓ Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim. Disposable polyester cardboard dishes ✓ Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes. ✓ Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the polystyrene to melt. May catch fire. May cause arcing. Fast-food packaging • Polystyrene cups containers • Paper bags or newspaper • Recycled paper or metal trims Glassware • Oven-to-table ware ✗ ✗ ✓ • Fine glassware ✓ • Glass jars ✓ Metal • Dishes • Freezer bag twist ties Paper • Plates, cups, napkins and Kitchen paper • Recycled paper Plastic • Containers May cause arcing or fire. ✓ For short cooking times and warming.

Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape. Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be airtight. Prick with a fork, if necessary. Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spattering. CE2974c(GB3) 5/9/00 9:01 AM Page 37 Cooking Guide MICROWAVES GB Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. COOKING Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers. Foods suitable for microwave cooking: Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints). Covering during cooking To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film. Standing times After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food. Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS 39 CE2974c(GB3) 5/9/00 9:01 AM Page 40 Cooking Guide REHEATING Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens hobs normally take. Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C. GB Arranging and covering Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful. Power levels and stirring Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W. Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary. Heating and standing times When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart.. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions. REHEATING LIQUIDS Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. REHEATING BABY FOOD BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C. BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C. REMARK: Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS Instructions CE2974c(GB3) 5/9/00 9:01 AM Page 43 Cooking Guide DEFROSTING GB Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away. Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over halfway, drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below. Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food. For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the following table as a guide. All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will make the food brown more quickly. Cookware for grilling: Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Food suitable for grilling: Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings. IMPORTANT REMARK: Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical position. Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. MICROWAVE + GRILL This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill. Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking: Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details. IMPORTANT REMARK: Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, make sure that the grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart. The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides. 44 SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CE2974c(GB3) 5/9/00 9:01 AM Page 45 Cooking Guide Grill Guide for fresh food Preheat the grill with the grill-function for 4 minutes.
